ments OF our people when We cay, that
the Board OF Directors have not accepted
the honor conferred upon them, as being
merely honorary, idle and meaningless.
But continuously they have worked
with an energy and spirit worthy OF
their grand undertaking. Two lines
haye been surveyed from the Tennessee
River to Huntsville, and one northward
to the Tennessee State line. Every dol>
lar OF expense has oeen paid and v Ne are
now ready to negotiate on a business
basis. This is just as it should be. Our
people have had no fears, for the line OF
road proposed through Tennessee via
Huntsville into the vast mineral regions
OF Alabama is an important route-has
attracted attention far and near, and will
certainly invite aid and cooperation.
Every citizen OF Huntsville and Mad-

and energy, and all pull as one man for
the benefit OF Huntsville. Let us have
no laggards in our march OF progress.
